Valentine's Journal
The Story that Ends
14 years since I have come to the world of Gaia Online and it's time to close the book!

If you're here, you're probably wondering where I am now or why I have gone inactive or have left the site. I regret to say that I am no longer around in Gaia Online anymore. I have left this account to my darling, granting him my permission to access my inventory any time he likes and dress my avatar too (if he can think of something creative.) I also left him a few instructions on some unfinished business that I would like him to do for me in my place in this account. I am currently living my dream job in real life and it's one major reason why I no longer have the time or interest to be in Gaia or Discord. Another reason: this site is heavily scarred by its money-making methods that ruined the gold economy and it also feels like a sinking ship. After years of watching it struggle to stay afloat, I feel it's time to abandon it and seek out new, promising endeavors.

I'm sorry if my leave makes you sad or upset, especially to those of you who are good friends and people whom I have talked with up to this point. But do know it's normal that people leave the site one day, like all others who did before me. Many who vanished and never returned. People come and go in all walks of life, but friends and people whom I have talked with over the years can leave lasting memories in my heart. Also, those who are currently in my buddylist and in my airship guild will forever stay there, unforgotten throughout the sands of time.

To anyone who may have disliked and/or hated me, or whom I have blocked, know that I have already forgiven you. Please bury whatever past strife you have with me and move on with your lives, to what the future holds for you. And find your happiness there instead of moping about. Maybe in another time or in another life, we could get to know each other better and get along well.

To those of you who are still here and young, let me tell you this: Never stop dreaming. Never stop chasing your dreams. Always keep aspiring for and trying out new things. Don't always limit yourself to Gaia Online. Explore other site and places IRL, and see what other wonderful things you might be missing out. Grow, adapt, and surpass your old selves as much as possible, and continue reaching for new heights regardless of what obstacles you face in your way. You never know that one day, you'll finally achieve your grandest dream, the fruits of your effort and dedication. And while you're at it, never, ever forget to be kind, selfless, caring and considerate towards others, for such character development is priceless, more than all the riches and fame in the world.

My main Gaia OC or base self has left planet Gaia and has returned to her homeworld to live out her remaining days in peace and serenity. If you wish to send me a message, please send them to my darling, Falcon Starlight, and kindly request him to deliver it to me on your behalf. Don't be shy or afraid, you'll find him amiable and considerate. I will not be around to read any PMs sent to my account but he may do if he hasn't disabled them, and he will deliver them to me too.

Take care, and thank you for everything in the past years! Know that we Valentines never, ever forget our memorable and loyal friends!

Live long and prosper!

Sorry I missed you before leaving. Last month was pure chaos with my life, hope all is going well in the real world!

I know we both live together in our new family life in the USA but I feel like wanting to leave a comment here to add my own piece of memory to this journal entry. Not to mention that our Gaia OCs always loved each other as much as we do in real life, so there has to be something my base self would want to say to his beloved before she departed from planet Gaia to her homeworld.

Gaia Online is going to be a bit lonely without you. It's been over 10 years since we first met each other in college and I being the one who introduced you into this world. Over time, it made me happy to see how fast you grew and adapted to this site’s environment, not to mention making many new friends and wonderful memories. You have impressed me many times with your capabilities and back then, you seemed like a promising, aspiring and fulfilling Gaian. Never did I think that Gaia Online would be one of the many factors that would bind us together into a new happy family that we both would cherish for the rest of our lives!

I understand and respect your decision to leave Gaia Online for good. Your happiness, comfort and love is all that I cared for. I am honored that you have chosen to give all your stuff to me- all that I recognize as the result of your years of hardships and effort in this site. I will definitely carry out your final wishes in the world of Gaia Online before my time to quit too arrives. I will finish whatever you have entrusted me with and I will also deliver any messages that people here wish to send you.

I thank you for all the wonderful support and happiness that you have given me in this site! Gaia Online or not, I will always be with you! God is great, I am thankful to Him for bringing you into my life!
